Opinion PlatformsBack


 
The Opinion Platforms are set up to provide an online forum for people to express their opinions on specific issues or themes. Each topic has its own way of collecting and compiling opinion, but opinions carried by the platform belong in general belong to one of the following categories:
 
 
  1. Online survey result
  2. Collection of online open-ended opinions
  3. Opinions from certain sectors
 
 
Different from most online discussion groups, we do not encourage people to lash out at each other, nor do we promote instant dialogues. We would rather collect representative views and opinions with referencing value. Therefore, any submission which contains foul language or personal attack, or is judged to be irrelevant or useless to the discussion, or goes beyond reasonable length, will not be carried. With regard to the exact operation of each topic, please click on specific items.
